Deleting Account Error

Deleting Account Error

When I go to delete my account, I get an error message after I've filled in all the details.

 

It flashes with Error 500 and only gives me the option to only go back to the home page or visit the help center.

 

I've tried 3x now to delete and nothing changes.

 

Anyone offer any help?

I have waited patiently for over a week for a reply. At this rate I can hardly recommend this product to anyone if this is an example of the support. Please open a ticket for me (yes I have tried all avenues myself) and close this account.

Hi all, happy Monday and thanks for flagging this with us. 

 

I just wanted to let you know that I looked this up internally and I can see that this should be resolved now.

 

You should now be able to delete your Dropbox account normally. 

 

Thanks for your reports!

Hey there, @InftyLght, how are you today?

 

I just merged your post under a similar thread, since it echoed what the OP mentioned here. Can you try out the steps Walter provided here, and let me know if you still get the same error?

 

Thanks a bunch!
